Nibco Inc 9001300PCU Press Reducing Coupling 3/4x1/2

Product Description

The NIBCO INC 9001300PCU is a lead-free press-by-press reducing coupling designed to connect a 3/4-inch tube to a 1/2-inch tube without soldering. The fitting uses a press connection on both ends, allowing licensed plumbers and pipefitters to make secure, leak-tested joints quickly using a standard press tool. It is suited for copper tube systems in residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, and potable water distribution. The lead-free construction meets regulatory requirements for drinking water applications, and the press-fit design eliminates open flame from the connection process.

This reducing coupling is used wherever a transition between 3/4-inch and 1/2-inch copper tube is required. Common installation scenarios include branch reductions at manifolds, supply line transitions, and retrofit work where torch access is limited or restricted by code. It is sold in a package of 10 fittings, making it practical for jobs that require multiple connections of this size reduction. The fitting is appropriate for both new construction and service replacement work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before pressing. Ensure tube ends are cut square, deburred, and marked to the correct insertion depth before engaging the press tool jaw. Do not attempt to press fittings on a pressurized or wet line.
